I’m Not sure about this song. Something seems a little off when I listen to it. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I still enjoy it though. Better than anything else im hearing on the radio these days (by a country mile). im really enjoying everything Troye has put out the past few months. I’m so ready for the album to drop,. I really hope the album is successful herein North America.

I love that we have artists like Troye and Olly from Y&Y out and proud and making pop music. They are young and on their way up, plenty of time for them to grow into even better singer songwriters. I support!

Gutted that we have to wait another 3 months. Ive been waiting impatiently for this record since My My My came out and converted me into a huge fan. Cant believe its already been 4 months since it was released.

Love this song. Love that there's a pop song about bottoming that's gonna smash. Love the looks in this video. Love the "Vogue" homage:

I enjoy “Bloom,” but I see it more as a metaphor for becoming more and more one’s own self in a nurturing relationship... “opening up” in an emotional sense? Sharing intimate parts of your inner life with someone to whom you feel close and with whom you feel safe.

I also appreciated the “Vogue” visual references in the new video. Glad Madonna gives him such confidence!

Troye said that it's about giving up your anal V-card for someone special. He even launched the song with the hashtag #bopsaboutbottoming.

for me, the video doesnt match the song. and some of the lewks don't suit him. i hope he smashes but he might be a gay niche market girl.

but it is an important video for the youth!

tend to agree, tbh. the make-up is especially odd in a couple set-ups.

But everyone's interpretation is valid, of course.

Haha! Well, thanks for making me feel like my intepretation is valid, even when I’m clearly wrong.

In some ways, it illustrates Madonna’s quote from around 2000 ... how she is sometimes reluctant to share the specific inspiration for a song. I think her example was that, if she rights a beautiful love song because of a fly, she doesn’t want people to be thinking of the fly when they hear the song. (I think this was the same interview where she shared that the germ for the chorus of “Music” came from a Sting concert — and the way the vibe of the audience changed when he started playing old classics...) But I digress.

"Bloom" is INCREDIBLE. I've been stanning hard for this song since the single release.

Love hearing a pop song that actually has a melody and an actual song structure these days.

And that drum machine... takes me back to the 80s and 90s stuff I loved growing up.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

He has a piece of my heart. One of the best male pop stars to arrive in a VERY LONG TIME.

He's still working out some of his kinks, but with time, I think he'll continue to evolve as a force to be reckoned with. This is was I was hoping for from Adam Lambert when he shot to fame. What a disappointment that ended up being.

The thing with Adam is that he went the male Gaga schtick early on. If it didn't work for her then of course it wasn't going to work for him either.

I always thought Troye was OK -- maybe a bit overrated by the YouTube tweens. "Wild" came along and I thought "OK, he's pretty good. But the stuff he's released from this upcoming album is flat-out brilliant. "My My My" was very good, "The Good Side" was fantastic, and now "Bloom." I haven't been this excited for an album ages.

Im a huge fan like everyone else and can't wait for the album also but ive been thinking the same thing, he's in danger of ending up stuck in a gay niche market after showing some of the biggest potential of any pop star we have seen in recent years.
